CVI and AAC

Explore the questions "How does CVI impact the development of communication? And what are the implications for assessment and the development of a communication system that is individualized to a child’s unique needs?"

Overview

CVI Now hosted a live virtual event on CVI and communication with a focus on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), held on October 28, 2020. Sylvia Mangan, Speech-Language Pathologist, and Christopher Russell, Project Coordinator at the New York Deaf-Blind Collaborative and a TVI, presented and answered parent questions about CVI and complex communication needs. We know that our kids with CVI require life-changing access to thrive and reach their full potential in a world that is not designed for them. So thinking about our topic—how does CVI impact the development of communication? And what are the implications for assessment and the development of a communication system that is individualized to a child’s unique needs?
